Federer wins 4th straight Wimbleton Title

Roger Federer beat his new nemesis Rafael Nadal today 6-0, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 6-3 en route to his fourth straight Men's Wimbledon title. This victory is his first against Nadal in the past four finals they have matched up in, including the 2006 French Open.

Federer is now the 3rd player in the tennis history to win four successive Wimbledon championships, joining Bjorn Borg (five straight from 1976-80) and Pete Sampras (1997-00) and has now won 8 of the last 11 Major Tennis Championships.

Federer is the best tennis player of his generation. And think, we will get a few more years of him at his peak. :)

As Pete Sampras said, Federer is competing against the record books.

Federer will beat the record of 14 majors. His win over Nadal will ignite their growing rivalry. Federer and Nadal are great for the sport of tennis.
